As I have been unable to find a copy of Men with Guns, I was afraid to wait much longer before viewing a film for this unit. Therefore, I chose Strawberry and Chocolate. As the blog assignment for this unit was a biography, I have chosen to write the biography of the character David:
David Cruz, the newly appointed Director of the Cuban Arts Council in Miami, was born in Havana, Cuba, where his father served as a minor official in Castro's government. David was educated at the University of Havana and was a member of the student communist society. While pursuing his university studies, David met his mentor, Diego Pena, an artist who was instrumental in keeping the arts alive in Havana in the face of strict governmental controls. To honor their friendship, David continues the work begun by Diego as he works in Miami to promote Cuban artists of all genres.

I loved this movie. So glad you have David supporting Diego. That's the way it should be...freedom of expression is paramount in my book.
